After a party, four teens are in a hit-and-run accident that results in a young boy's death. Unable to deal with the consequences, they leave the body behind, and make an anonymous phone call to the police, tipping them off. The group makes a secret pact to bury the memory of that night and never speak of it again, but when one of the girls receives a note that reads "I know what you did last summer," their dark lie is unearthed. With twists and turns at every corner, they'll have to fight to stay steps ahead of a killer determined to make them pay.

Julie, Ray, Helen, and Barry used to be close friends until the hit in run accident, Julie decides to cut ties with everyone. That was last summer and now Julie is getting messages in the mail suggesting that someone else knows about the accident, which is when she decides to let everyone else in the group know what’s going on. No one else thinks that it’s a big deal until they all start getting threatening messages, but no one goes to the police because that’ll just get them in trouble for what happened last summer.

This book was boring and the characters don’t make it any better. Helen is like the prom queen super pretty only thinks about herself and follows Barry around like a puppy dog. Barry is your basic jock, he likes to think of himself as an alpha male and he’s an awful person in general. The only two sensible people in this book are Julie and Ray and not by a long shot. We just see the characters get notes, one ends up getting seriously hurt and that’s when everyone starts to actually care, besides Julie because she was already thinking clearly. Anyway Julie is the only one who wants to figure out who knows, and when we do find out who it is it’s not surprising. Honestly this was such a lackluster book, I didn’t connect to the characters and it was just predictable and dull.
